With all the capability of a go-anywhere bike, the entry level model in the Carrera mountain bike range, more than does the job. This new line features updated geometry designed with wider handlebars and shorter stems, making the Carrera Code bang up to date and an exciting ride. The lockable suspension will encourage you to embrace the off-road adventure ahead. 3x7 gearing maximises the range of gears available.
We’ve designed soft and supportive memory foam into every one of our Carrera saddles so wherever you’re going, we’ve added in more comfort. The tough puncture protection tyres will also enable you to do more, reducing the likelihood of puncture so with the new Carrera Code you can really go for it!
Take us up on our free bike build and you’ll be on the road quicker with minimum hassle. With all the tools, equipment and training needed, we can get your bike built quickly and safely, and we’ll even get rid of the packaging for you. Plus, our free lifetime safety checks and lifetime frame guarantee mean you have the confidence to go further.
PLEASE NOTE:
Most sizes of this bike are suitable for a rear mounted child seat, unfortunately the small version is not compatible - you could opt for a pannier rack and pannier mounted child seat.
Extra comfort
Customers told us that features such as saddle comfort were a crucial element of their riding experience. Recognising this we’ve therefore equipped all Carrera bikes with memory foam saddles as standard - helping you spend even more time comfortably on your rides. These saddles are specific to the discipline and their shape is designed to complement that style of riding.
Often overlooked but important contact points, we’ve developed new handlebar grips whose shape enables a steady hold with a knurled soft rubber surface for additional comfort.
Additional peace of mind. And grip.
To give you even more riding time and not have you standing idle we’re also giving you additional peace of mind by fitting ‘Carrera Puncture Protection’ tyres as standard. They’ll still have a tread pattern designed to cope with bumps, obstacles and mud but the band of Kevlar protection running around the tyre will help reduce the incidence of punctures.
Lightweight responsive frame
We’ve overhauled and updated the tube profiles so that they are chunkier and more purposeful delivering a stiffer and more capable frame that still has low overall weight at approximately 15.5kg. Even better news is the improved geometry whereby we’ve tweaked the angles of the frame giving a longer wheelbase which offers stability, coupled with shorter stems and wider handlebars which will give riders more control especially when cornering.
To smooth out the inevitable bumps that come with trail riding, there’s dependable Zoom 525-AMS front suspension, which gives 100mm of travel and features a lockout to optimise the bike for climbing at the flick of a switch.
Wide ranging gears
The Carrera Code features a 3x7 drivetrain which is optimised to offer a wide selection of ratios. Set in the lowest gears you’ll feel as though you can conquer any hill, no matter how steep or longer. And in the highest you’ll be able to push on strongly at a high rate of speed.

With a huge range of services covering everything from your brake cables to the chainset, CycleCare is designed to ensure your bike stays in peak condition, even after plenty of miles.
